How could he have failed to know himself so completely? Captain Frederick Wentworth, lately returned to England from a distinguished naval career fighting Napoleon, had re-visited the scene of his romantic defeat of eight years previous at the hands of Miss Anne Elliot to find his former love a pale, worn shadow of herself. Attracted by the libely young ladies in the area who regarded him as a hero, he had ignored Anne and entangled himself with Louisa Musgrove, a headstrong young woman who seemed all that Anne was not. Now, because of his careless behviour and Louisa's heedlessness, his future appeared tied to her just at the moment when it had become painfully clear that Anne was still everything he truly wanted. In honour, he belonged to Louisa, but his heart was full of Anne. What was he to do?

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

When I was growing up in North Idaho we lived on a farm. I spent a lot of time by myself, reworking the plots of all the programs I watched on TV. I didn’t know that was my imagination at play. Consequently, when I got online and began reading Jane Austen fan fiction I felt right at home. I chose writing the characters of Persuasion because I love the story of love lost-love regained. All my stories will have some elements of the second chance woven through them. I live in an old farmhouse in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, son, daughter, and granddaughter.
